Our farm is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, where you can truly unwind while surrounded by natural scenery and fresh country air. From the property, you will enjoy uninterrupted views of the majestic mountain range that forms the backdrop of the fynbos region, creating a setting that feels both serene and inspiring. We are proudly off grid and fully solar powered, and we make use of harvested rain water throughout the property, offering an environmentally conscious stay without compromising on comfort. Guests can relax and cool off in our clean and well maintained communal pool, or explore the stunning pathways that wind through the farm. Seasonal streams flow through the property at certain times of the year, creating tranquil spaces to walk and discover the diverse local flora and fauna. There are designated braai areas for grilling and gathering, as well as a cozy fire pit that is perfect for evenings outdoors. With minimal light pollution, our farm offers breathtaking night skies and remarkable stargazing, allowing you to experience the beauty of the stars in complete stillness. You may also be greeted by our friendly resident dog and playful kitten, who add to the warm and welcoming farm atmosphere. Each morning begins with a delicious included breakfast, prepared with fresh and locally sourced ingredients and served with genuine hospitality. Our farm is especially suited to international travellers seeking a peaceful countryside setting and an authentic South African experience, while warmly welcoming all who appreciate nature, sustainability and quiet comfort.
I am a host who loves to meet new people and share my knowledge of the area. I am friendly, helpful, and respectful, and I offer a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped farm with some personal touches. I communicate and answer questions clearly and promptly, and I respect my guests' privacy and space. I am always reachable in case of any problems. I value feedback and reviews, and I always try to improve my hosting skills and standards. I want to provide the best possible experience for my guests.
Our bed and breakfast is located in a quiet and scenic neighbourhood, where you can enjoy the rural charm and the natural beauty of Plettenberg Bay. We live on a dirt road that leads to the Plett airport, which is only a few minutes away by car. You can easily access the Robberg Nature Reserve, a stunning coastal park that offers hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and panoramic views of the ocean. On gorgeous sunny days, make your way down to two Blue Flag beaches which are 7km away or visit the local bakery and nursery, Ouland Royale. If you are in the mood for some delicious Italian food, you can dine at the nearby authentic Italian restaurant, Ice Dream Land, which serves pizza, gelato and more. Our neighbourhood is a great place to stay, where you can experience the best of both worlds: the countryside and the seaside.
